[Elecraft] K3S - APF/RTTY question

[Wes (N7WS)]

I find HRD overly complicated so I don't use it, and cannot speak to how to set 
it up.

I use a variant of MMTTY that is designed to interface with DXBase, my logging 
program.  MMTTY would be setup the same.

I use AFSK A and low tones, 915 Hz, and set up MMTTY accordingly. Make sure 
whatever decoder you use is set to TX and RX using whatever tones you set the K3 to.

Turn off the dual filter, it's mostly useless and set your RX bandwidth to 400 
Hz.  Some folks want to use narrower BW, but there is little, if anything, to be 
gained by this.

Worry about decoding the DX station.  You don't care what the other guys are 
sending. and trying to tune them to decode them is unnecessary.  Here is where a 
P3 or other bandscope shines over a second RX, all IMHO of course.

Wes  N7WS  242 DXCC countries on RTTY all worked with a K3.
